A little hack with Big Stretch Sealant to get this piece off trim straight with a crooked wall!
What happens here
Immediately after the shims are in place, the man uses a Ryobi pneumatic nail gun to secure the baseboard permanently to the wall. He fires finish nails through the baseboard, aiming to catch the wall studs for maximum hold. This action also helps to compress the shims and pull the baseboard tightly against the wall, further closing any remaining gaps.
Goal: Permanently affix the baseboard to the wall for stability.
